Apartment in Ikebukuro

Stayed for two nights on my Japan trip. It wasn't fancy, but definitely comfortable enough to rest. The staff are very helpful in guiding me check in late at night and check out before dawn. The shared kitchen is pretty complete, with a stove you can use to cook and a fridge to keep your food. There is also a washing machine you can use. Overall, this place is perfect for first-time backpackers or travelers looking for a place for a short stay.

There is so close to the station, good service and very convenient everything even in a small room. Overall is so good and impressive.

Hotel New Star Ikebukuro takes for about 10 to 15 minutes of walk from Ikebukuro Station (West Exit). The hotel is not that big but it is enough for stay. It is quite convenience, and calm. But the room is not that spacious.

I have to say that I am so lucky to find this place in Ikebukuro, which among one of the bustling area in Tokyo. The place is very clean and cozy and the mattresses were very comfortable. We were concerned how would 3 of us fit in to this room but it was more spacious than we thought. We each had large suitcase but had enough space to fit them all without one having to climb other's head. The restrooms are outside our room and were very clean. The place is also very near to Tokyo metro, JR line and other train lines.

Desk was a bit dusty, but the small double room was spacious enough for two. Hotel located close to Ikebukuro Station, the surrounding can get a bit lively at night 😅 Hotel staffs were nice and very helpful

The hotel owner is more than a good person. He helped his guests a lot

I choose this hotel because the next day will go to kawagoe. direct train to kawagoe is from ikebukuro station. must go to correct exit from station, which not every exit have elevator. I send luggages to this hotel before I arrived, they receive it and already brings to my room when I check in.

The location is great. Subway entrance just in front, major bus stops behind the building. Bathroom is clean and has hot water. However the bunk bed (I slept in bookshelf) is super dusty. I didn't realize at first because the light is pretty dim, I keep coughing at night because of dust. The mattress is uncomfortable and noisy, whenever anyone near you move you will hear the mattress creaking

staff spoke very little english. room was quite spacious compared to other hotels. breakfast was quite delicious.
